If every country went about apologising for the things they've done, it would take a very long time. Think of all the things done in the name of the British Empire, has Britain apologised for every horrible deed committed? Has America apologised for trying to wipe out the Native Americans, or dropping two Atomic Bombs on innocent civies. Most Country have something to be shameful of in their past, "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

We've had a thread on this issue...military were based in those cities.
You missed the point of my post. As for military being based in a city making it ok to nuke hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, thats a cop out
Either way, I dont think the US should appologize for the nuking. People forget how many lives would have been lost if we had actually invaded Japan. On top of that we gave warning for people to get out well before the nuke hit. I know people slam the US for actually using nukes, but the other side of that would have meant 10x the casualties, civilian and military.
On top of that it brought an end to the war. We didnt do it out of spite, nor did we do it for the sake of exterminating people. Japan brought it upon themselves and I dont think anyone here should feel bad about it.
